Impacting lives, serving clients and partnering with stakeholders in growing business
My typical work at the office entails drafting of various contracts, responding to stakeholder queries, providing legal advice, and conducting legal research. In terms of the soft skills, I manage lawyers in the team and would assist the team in terms of their drafting work, upskilling junior lawyers. My preferred leadership is one that shows empathy and care while being firm and assertive. Since joining Standard Bank, I enhanced my stakeholder engagement and have become more open-minded. I continue to learn a lot from my stakeholders and continue to develop skills on how to handle the passionate that come with business colleagues.
Pros: A stimulating environment

Excellent experience
I've been working for Standard Bank for past 3years, it has been a great platform to grow in the financial industry. I've grown and expanded my horizon, especially working in teams and learning how to deal with different customers. I've have excellent collection experience having moved from Nedbank to Standard Bank. I know how to negotiate with irate customers, how to handle call queries and how to negotiate for better outcomes to insure business targets are met. I have an excellent working relationship with my co-workers as I have worked a lot in teams, I know how to share ideas, and help other team members to ensure daily targets are met and to achieve excellent stats. Participated in every team building in order to create a friendly environment for work. The most challenging aspect has been working shifts, and working on weekends.
Pros: Great opportunity for growth
Cons: Working shifts
